You cannot[1] track thieves through the blockchain like this. If you're going to catch any alleged MtGox thieves, they need to make some other mistake outside of bitcoin-world. Like a leaked email, or telling a friend who then goes leak it, etc. e.g. SilkRoad's Dread Pirate Roberts got caught because of his errors outside of bitcoin's blockchain.
